Despite Ghana missing out on a podium finish at the recently ended 2025 Hockey AFCON in both men’s and women’s categories, Ghana Hockey Association Executive Board Member, Isaac Graham, says the country performed well in the tournament that was held in Egypt.
Ghana finished second behind South Africa in the women’s category after losing 4-0 to South Africa in the final while Ghana’s male team finished fifth as South Africa emerged as winners.
South Africa will represent Africa in the Hockey World Cup in both gender categories and despite missing out on qualifying to world event and not bagging a medal in the men’s category, Isaac Graham believes Team Ghana did well.
“I will put it as a very good performance by the [Ghana] team. They really did well… I think the team really performance very well. Yes we were looking at having a podium finish for both teams but we got it for only the ladies.”
“The men did well but they couldn’t get to the podium but a lot of learning for them also because they have a very young team so most of them are having [to compete] for the first time on the international stage so it’s going to be a learning [curve] for all of us and we will build on it from here” Isaac Graham said in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports.
Team Ghana arrived on Monday; Mavis Berko and Dorothy Ngissah of Team Ghana ended the competition as the Top Scorer and Best Goalkeeper respectively.
